Sanchez, who harbored 50 dogs in a Bronx apartment building basement, was arrested in June and indicted in July on multiple charges related to animal fighting, aggravated cruelty to animals, and possession of a weapon. He faces one to three years in prison. If granted parole, Sanchez would be prohibited from owning animals during the length of his parole. He could also face deportation to his native Cuba after his sentence is served.

We’re working nonstop to combat the cruel practice of animal fighting nationwide, and we’re making progress. Earlier this week, legislators reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to an animal fight.

They should get the name of all the people that attended this hedious cruel despicable acts and prosecute the. With high penalties, jail time in a tiny cell and maker them as unfit abusive animals subject never allow to own a pet for life!,,,

If he is here illegally, why not just send him back to Cuba? Why are we going to spend our tax money feeding, clothing, housing and guarding him for the next one to three years and then let him out to do it again? Prisons do not change people. He will be just as cruel and heartless when he gets out as he is now, and he will still be here on our soil breaking the law and causing pain and suffering to innocent animals. Send him home to be a criminal in Cuba. I hear their prisons are not nearly as comfy as ours are.

This sadden me about this breed.I own a Pit Bull and he is the most loving Pit Bull not what most people think or feel about this breed. People make them out to be monsters. Its not their fault.The monster is the human their owner who gets a thrill to see their dog fighting. Who get a thrill to see blood. these people need to be put behind bars. Their low lives no education no compassion no brain.What is going to happen to these dogs the 50 of them. I understand some of them can't be adopted because they must be aggessive. Their monster owner made them that way. At least the young dogs should have a chance to be adopted please.

Hi everybody.. I am currently enrolled in a social sciences course where I am writing a research paper on animal cruelty. Would you all be so kind as to take my survey, it would be greatly appreciated!
